Its about time to set some guide lines. After a couple of weeks in Zermatt I have seen some nasty things!! I have decided to set some guidelines for all of you Ski racing fans out there! If you want to look, behave & carry your self as a real classy World cup skier, this is what you need to do!!
...
1:Ski carrying! Don´t you ever dare to carry your skis with your tips pointing backwards, that already on the parking lot reveals how intense you suck at skiing!
...

2:Helmet goes on last! The later you put on your helmet the better, I don´t want to see you driving a car to the slope, walking around in the restaurant or putting on your helmet before your boots!
...
4:Lift line. Don´t you even think about sneaking by in the lift line, unless…You are a Superstar that everyone looks up to & you have their blessing to go ahead of them!
...
6:Turtle neck ( Puffy )! I know there are some World cup skiers that uses it…But please stop doing that! If you are looking for comfort , change sport! + You look weak!
...
7: SunGlasses under Helmet. Normally I should not even have to mention this… But if you are wearing Sunglasses underneath your race helmet, you should not only be fined with a 500€ penalty but also be banned for skiing the rest of your life!

Ski with your ski pants cuffs above your boot.

When you're not skiing(in the lift line, on the chair), unbuckle your boots. You kill it so hard, you need to have your boots tight, so you cut of the blood circulation to your feet. You don't have to worry about pain when you can't feel anything from your shins down.

Where do you find this stuff?

Most of this stuff comes up entirely by accident. I was looking for opinions on how to find the safest helmet. Go figure.

These are pretty funny too

Goggles should always be tight and fit well to the helmet. NO JOEY GAPS!!

Haha, you should see some of the Joey’s at the resorts on the East Coast….Jeans tucked into rental boots (that aren’t even buckled), flying down the hill with the jacket unzipped and in the “death wedge”, and the massive gap between the helmet and goggles.

No open Jackets. Either you wear one or you don’t.

* If you wanna ski, you carry your own skis. Only exceptions can be made for kids. So please don’t walk around carrying your wife’s/man’s ski’s. If she / he can’t carry them she / he absolutely isn’t strong enough to ski

Don’t forget to carry around a big ass racer backpack! How else are people going to know that you’re a serious ski racer if you don’t have enough storage space for transporting all your gear to and from the slopes? It should look like you have a bag big enough to fit a fully-grown human being!

Let’s not forget that under no circumstances your din should be less than double digits




AND FOR MY VOTE:
You go first, I’ll wait for you at the bottom.

Still trying to figure out if this is for real and the guy is just a JA or if it is a joke.

One more thing make sure everyone knows you're a racer and be the biggest jerk possible

Well, Hans Olsson is a legit racer.

Whether or not he authored these pages is not clear.

... and the massive gap between the helmet and goggles.

I prefer the goggles dangling from the back of the helmet and I'm still shocked that I can occasionally see someone mid-day with a helmet on backwards. C'mon! Seriously, none of you clowns cared enough to help a gaper out?

I saw this Asian family at Wachusett last year and their kid had his helmet on backwards. I tried to tell them about it, but they just looked at my like I was crazy.

Saw a guy at Killington this year with the same issue.
